Unlike traditional plastic media, Matrix\u2122 offers both external and internal macroporous surfaces, ideally sized to support nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria. This dual-surface action allows Matrix\u2122 to effectively remove ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate simultaneously within the same filter. Each liter of Matrix\u2122 provides an impressive surface area of over 700 m\u00b2, equivalent to approximately 170 liters of plastic bio-balls.<\/p>\n<h3>Key Features and Benefits<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>High Capacity Biofiltration:<\/strong> Supports a large colony of beneficial bacteria for efficient waste removal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Simultaneous Waste Removal:<\/strong> Effectively removes ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate in a single filter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Extensive Surface Area:<\/strong> Over 700 m\u00b2 of surface area per liter promotes robust bacterial growth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Supports Aerobic and Anaerobic Bacteria:<\/strong> Macroporous structure ideal for both nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inert and Permanent:<\/strong> Matrix\u2122 is completely inert, will not break down, and does not need replacement.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Easy Maintenance:<\/strong> Can be rinsed as needed without damaging the bacterial colony, as most bacteria reside internally.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Versatile Use:<\/strong> Compatible with all types of wet or wet-dry filters, including canister filters and drip tray systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Dosage and Usage<\/h3>\n<p>Use approximately 250 mL of Matrix\u2122 for every 200 liters (50 US gallons) of aquarium water. Matrix\u2122 can be placed in any type of filter. For optimal performance, ensure good water flow through the media. Seachem recommends using Stability\u00ae in conjunction with Matrix\u2122 to rapidly establish the aquarium&#8217;s bio-filter.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seachem Matrix 500 ml Seachem Matrix is a highly porous biomedia that provides efficient biological filtration for the removal of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":63798,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[206],"product_cat":[116],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-63809","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-seachem","product_cat-bacteria","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coraisdevidro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/63809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coraisdevidro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coraisdevidro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coraisdevidro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=63809"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coraisdevidro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coraisdevidro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coraisdevidro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=63809"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coraisdevidro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=63809"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coraisdevidro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=63809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
